Question
I some dental issues a year ago . I went on a emergancy visit to a dentist who did a root canal . This took several trips . During my last visit ( while he drilling in my mouth ) , he stated the tooth next to it was bad . He then , without written or a verbal permission , decided to start putting a filling in the tooth . He then stated it was too bad to do a filling and he was going to start the root canal . Two months later that tooth started hurting . I then went to a different dentist . I was too mad that this tooth was going bad . I never gave him per mission to mess with that tooth . It never bothered me . The tooth had to be removed , it had been knocked lose .
Well I get home today from work to find a judgment letter in the mail . I will appear in court . How do I fight this . I do not mind paying for the orginal tooth . I do not feel I should pay for a tooth that he worked on without permission . Espeically since he is the reason I no longer have that tooth . ( It is a moler . Not noticable )
Please someone tell me how I handle this .
I would make an appearance in court and state your case just like you did here. Take any evidence you have with you. Let the judge decide. Have them show where you agreed in writing to this work and push to have the case dismissed. It sounds like you may have a chance at winning your case.
